THE PRAKTL AFFAIR

Jerry Ballester has his hands full. He is the Deputy Sheriff of Helen, Georgia. A sleepy, quaint, little mountain village, north of Atlanta. Strange things start happening when a lone man comes into town claiming that he has no idea who he is, or where he came from. Bob Markurt woke up in a hotel room, not knowing where he was, or why he was there. He says that he is suffering from amnesia, and has absolutely no memory of how he arrived in Georgia, or why he is even there. The only thing that he has learned about himself, and his past, is that he was staying in a prepaid room, leased for the visiting clients of Pracktl, a Savannah company. But even that means nothing to him. He has taken on the name, Jake Levitt, as he has no idea what his real name is. Jerry decides that he is going to find out who this guy is, and what he is doing in Helen. But in doing so he starts a chain of events that lead to the most powerful citizens of Atlanta who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.In the meantime a rash of burglaries are happening In Helen. These seem to involve a young teenager who, herself, has some pretty powerful backing in that her father is the county school board president. Jerry can't seem to get anyone to help with the investigation of these, until a murder becomes involved with one of the burglaries.As all of these things are going on an old girlfriend, Pat Edmonston, asks for Jerry's help when her husband, Roy, the District Attorney, undergoes a total personality change. He has been acting strange, and distant. And there is has been some very strange activity going on at their ranch. As Jerry is investigating this he comes upon some very strange and mysterious activity beneath the land of the ranch.All of these events do not seem to be related to one another, but soon it is found that they are, and they all involve a group of men who are involved in a deadly conspiracy of terrorism, with absolutely nothing to lose.THE PRAKTL AFFAIR is a complex and astounding thriller that draws the reader into the dark world of deadly viruses, and masterful strategy that keeps the reader turning the pages. THE PRAKTL AFFAIR just bursts with murder, mayhem, mystery and intrigue. If you like Tom Clancy, you will find that Mr. Savoie has equaled, and in many ways has out done him, with this suspenseful tale of conspiracy. Mr. Savoie's characters are both powerful and believable. The story is spell binding and totally captivating. There is mystery, and intrigue on each and every page. You'll not only be captured by the first chapter, you will not be able to put the book down until the last page, when Mr. Savoie finally ties up all the lose ends, and lets you go. Even then you don't want the story to end, but it does.I totally recommend that you pick up a copy of THE PRAKTL AFFAIR. It is a wonderful book, written by a very talented man. I can only hope that this is only the first of many, many more wonderful books to come, as I
